I spent much of the day experimenting with transporting an old LP to CD.

The upshot of this is that somehow during the digitisation process the music gets sped up by about 4%. I’m not sure if it’s a hardware sampling clock problem or a Windows timer problem or even a bug in Audacity.

Still, all the other parts of the process worked fine. That won’t help if I can’t record properly.

I got up “early”, ie. about half past 9, so as to pop into Helston to pay my Christmas cheques in. Whilst there I also bought a 3.5mm to 5mm jack plug convertor so as to connect my old HiFi which has a turntable to my laptop for the purpose of transfering my old records to CD.

In the afternoon my Dad and I got Skype running and managed to dial up my Uncle in Enfield. It took quite a while to get it working as my uncle had problems with his audio connections.

Later on I experimented with recording from LP. It worked, after a bit of tweeking. I just now need the time to do the recording properly and be able to set up my laptop in a convenient way.

I tried sending a e-mail last night just after midnighter to the “junk” and “soiree” lists hosted by Alec’s machine at work but the messages haven’t turned up. (Is Coyote down for Christmas, Alec?) So, this posting will have to suffice for the time being.
